bad for Blaisdell.

WASHINGTON, January l5.-The Sec
retary of the Interior has decided TO re.
call the decision rendered some weeks
ago, allowing Solon G. Blaisdell to take
adjoining land to his entry of land in
section 5, township IA. range /. Los An.
geles Land District. 1t was known
that Blaisdell had been a soldier when
this decision was rendered, and there;
fore did not need the land in question
under his rights, which did not restrict
him to eighty acres of land. The case
will probably be ended by Blaisdell being
deprived of his title.

A BAD SHOWING.
Curious Disbursement of
Railroad Coin.
LEGISLATION COSTS MONEY
Two Millions of Dollars Given Up
Rather Than Explain Where
It Went To.

Especial 10 the Herald by The Associated Press
New York, january l4.-The World
prints to-day sworn statement from
Theophilius French, formerly commits
sioner and auditor of Pacific railroad
accounts, giving payments amounting to
$1,000, 900 and the names of the persons
to whom the payments were made by
G. P. Huntington and Leland Stanford
during the years from 1869 to 1881.
The statement occupied seven columns,
and in the list of names are many per.
sons prominent in Washington, some of
them now in the Senate and House.
From the Worlds statement it appears
that during Mr.. French's three years of
Office he rejected in the accounts of the
Pacific railroads over 81, 600, 600 as hav.
ing been improperly disbursed. Under
the Thurman act 25 per cent of the
net earnings of the subsidized rail-
road have to be paid into the treasury
of the United States towards wiping out
the debt due the government. In order
to arrive at the correct amount of the net
earnings it is important to scrutinize the
items of money disbursed. Money i'm
properly disbursed cannot be deducted.
Mr.. French found in the time he was in
Office accounts to the amount of the sum
just named which the railroad company
would not explain. In no instance he
says was an explanation offered ON the
list of accounts rejected by him. Mr..
French warned the railroad companies
that if the accounts were not explained
they would have to be rejected. In
several instances he says the officers of
the road withdrew and consulted about
explaining the items questioned but in.
variably they refused to explain and
preferred to have the account rejected to
telling where the money went.
